I’ve no belief in the heavens
Of which the parsons rave;
In thine eyes believe I only,
In their heavenly light I lave. I’ve no belief in the Maker
Of whom the parsons rave;
In thine heart believe I only,
No other God will I have. I’ve no belief in the devil,
In hell or the pains of hell;
In thine eyes believe I only,
And thine evil heart as well.

Heine, Heinrich. Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Heinrich Heine

First methought in my affliction,
I can never stand the blow. —
Yet I did — strange contradiction!
How I did, ne’er seek to know.

"The dream is over, the sun is up,
I eagerly peep in the rose’s cup.
Alas! in the place of the glimmering light,
A nasty insect meets my sight."
